Tag: makeup review

Hello, my lovelies!Hope you all are having a great day. Last week was Latvia’s independence day(I did eat like tons of cake and watch Latvian movies…I regret nothing!).Today I’m back with something really fun…Full face of Focallure makeup (I got a whole kit for birthday) from Aliexpress

The first picture is me with a bare face(just moisturizer). The second picture I got my BB cream by Maybelline on(The only non Focallure item I used in this look) ,Ultra-fine light powder in the color No.2 and Sculpting Eyebrow Powder in the color 03(the middle shade of this kit, put it on with the little brush it came)

I really like how it did turn out. I did wear it all day (but switched the lipstick to a more everyday color from Dzintars)and it did stay on.Nothing “moved” or “disappeared”, I didn’t get shine in the t-zone(That’s a big thing for me).I’m very pleased with this kit and the quality of the makeup.

Tell me in the comments, What product of this kit you want to see a full review on?

Did I say how lucky I am to have such amazing friends?If not, then right now it’s the right time to do so…A few days ago we meet up for tea, pizza and cake, my dear friends, Alina and Agness surprised me with birthday presents.We hadn’t had time to meet sooner and to “celebrate” my birthday.One of the gifts that I got was a makeup set from Focallure.When you browse the huge makeup category on Aliexpress, you will see at least 2 Focallure products on each page, that’s why I’m so excited to try some of the products.

It was so well packaged and so professional. The brow kit and eyeshadows came with brushes, the powder with a little puff.

the packaging on everything was very similar

Product swatches

Sorry about the crappy swatch picture

I still haven’t opened powder and eyeshadows, so I can’t say anything bad or good about them. About products that I have tried, I can say positive things, for now, my favorite of all is the mascara, it gives your lashes very natural look and is not clumpy. I think will do a look with all of the products in the future.

Overall

I’m really thankful (Thank you girls!)and happy about this set.The quality is really good (both the packaging and the product itself), will try them for a month and then write a full review!

Tell me in the comments, What’s the last time someone surprised you?Was it in a good or bad way?

Today Let’s talk about my first product from Makeup Revolution.Just last year we started to see this brand in our stores.The stands were really sleek and eye-catching , so of course, I got something as one of my Christmas gift (plus it was affordable ).

The manufacturer promises : A perfect mix of pearl, shimmer and matte shades. Totally collectible and a pure sellout

My Thoughts;

Shades: 5/5 stars

You have sparkles, shimmers, and mattes all in beautiful brown tones.Perfect for everyday use.

Pigmentation :4/5 stars

How you can see darker colors are very pigmented, but the lighter ones are not..sadly

No primer, no nothing.Just eyeshadows on skin

The Formula: 3,5/5 stars

For the price it’s okay, but of course not the best I ever used.I love some of them for highlights, it gives really natural glow.

Overall: 4/5 stars

I love it!I use it every day.My favorites are the shimmer ones.And it’s so affordable!!! I paid 5.75 euros for it (money well spent!). Can’t wait to try more from this brand.You can get it here

The manufacturer promises:crazy curl! the lash curler is a new mascara innovation and has a manually rotating brush. unique on the market, the brush can be twisted manually as needed – sometimes more and sometimes less – while you apply your mascara to create extraordinary curl and volume. since the curl mascara is twisted by hand, it doesn’t require batteries. an absolute eye-catcher that’s fun, too! opthalmologically tested.

My Thoughts:

Shade:4/5 stars

Very pigmented black

The Wand:5/5 stars

I love it!The tip is so good or my lashes in inner corners!

The Formula: 4/5

Okay, so it will not give you the crazy fake lash effect, but more natural look.I like it , it’s not clumpy, goes on pretty smoothly.But with all that ”curler thing” it can get messy if you are in hurry.

Overall:4/5 stars

I like it!It’s fun to use.And I like the packaging.Will I repurchase it?Maybe.

I like it.It’s not too runny, easy to apply, lasts forEVER.The only two things I don’t like are when you first apply it will burn a little(because of the ginger in the mask) and it doesn’t dry on your skin and I don’t like it.

The quality of my skin after use: 3,5/5

I did see that my skin looks better after using this mask.My skin and acne are not as red as they were,but…that’s it.It did not help me with my acne or blackheads at all, and for my skin, it’s too moisturizing.I need something more oil controlling.

Overall: 3,5/5 stars

I do like it as a once/twice a month treatment, or when I have some dry patches (Usually in winter).But not for every week use.And I do think it was too pricey.Will I repurchase it?No, but I’m glad I have tried it.

Lip Tints are one of the hottest trends in the world for the past year and of course, I wanted to try it!But where to get it for an affordable price? ALIEXPRESS! So I found this one, a peel off kind.Got the Romantic Bear lip tint in color Sexy Red

It’s very pigmented when you first put it on….but after all the peeling the color is very settled.

Long Lasting:2/5 stars

Such a shame but on my lips, it stays just max 2 h.Very disappointing.

Formula:2,5/5 stars

Imagine when you go to the dentist and he gives you a mild anesthesia for the procedure, well it’s the exact feeling you will have on your lips after using this product.And it’s messy ..really messy

My Final Thoughts:

Very Disappointing.Will I purchase it again?No…But you know what maybe I was just unlucky with my experience with this product, becouse my friend has it(just in different color ) and she loves it.So if you want to try it give it a go, it’s very affordable so why not.
